A Syrian refused asylum injured 12 people and killed himself when an explosive he was carrying in a backpack went off near a music festival in southern Germany, officials believe.

After the regional Bavarian Government said it assumed the incident in the city of Ansbach, near Nuremberg, was a “deliberate explosion”, Joachim Hermann, the Bavarian interior minister, told a press conference the suspect was a 27-year-old asylum seeker who had been denied the right to stay in Germany.
